Archive material and source history
Mercy Street formed in Los Angeles in 1972 with Jake Edwards on vocals, Billy James on guitar, Jimmy Scott on bass, and Bobby Hayes on drums. Their 1975 debut album 'Rites of Passage' included the single 'Don't Tell The Truth,' which became a hit. The band's sound mixed hard rock with folk and soul elements.
They returned in the 1980s with several more albums, including 'Into the Fire' and 'Redemption.' Songs like 'Hideaway' and 'The Grey' showed their continued work during this period.
After releasing music through the mid-1980s, Mercy Street eventually disbanded. Their songs have been covered by other artists over time.
